In this study, we propose a new method that combines the accuracy of a polarizable embedding QM/MM approach with the computational efficiency of an excited-state self-consistent field method to investigate the excited-state dynamics of molecules embedded in complex matrices. We apply this method to the photoactivation of the blue-light-using flavin (BLUF) domain of the AppA protein and demonstrate the presence of a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process, which has been suggested in other BLUF proteins.
The excited-state dynamics of molecules embedded in complex (bio)matrices is still a challenging goal for quantum chemical models. Hybrid QM/MM models have proven to be an effective strategy, but an optimal combination of accuracy and computational cost still has to be found. Here, we present a method which combines the accuracy of a polarizable embedding QM/MM approach with the computational efficiency of an excited-state self-consistent field method. The newly implemented method is applied to the photoactivation of the blue-light-using flavin (BLUF) domain of the AppA protein. We show that the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process suggested for other BLUF proteins is still valid also for AppA.
